Smithsonian Zoo

Schrik niet, maar hier komt mijn eerste klaagmoment. JEETJE MINA HET IS WARM. haha Ik zit naast mijn raam die ik wijd open heb staan en het is nog steeds bloed heet. Oh en wat vind ik het heerlijk. Zeker om er nu over te klagen. Toen de noordpool zich even hier had gevestigd kon ik niet wachten op dit moment. Op dat moment dat de Noordpool plaats zou maken voor de Savanne.

Oh wauw didn't even notice. I started of in Dutch. I had a moment were I though that I would translate it but I don't even want to. There is this thing called 'Google Translate' and you probably would still not understand a thing of what I said there but I love Dutch and sometimes you will have to life with that.

So basically what I said in Dutch was that it is hot here. It started of on Thursday. 74F what I still don't understand, but I could feel it. It felt really good. The sun was out and it was official. It's spring in Virgina! Spring here means warm weather and a lot of sun. Not even comparable to the Dutch spring. Although I miss the flower fields. There are some flowers now and than. But in the area were I lived in Holland there a squares and squares of flowers and it is such a connection to my Birthday. Flower fields and a birthday party! But I will not complain, although I started my blog with complaining about the weather. I'll tell you. I love the weather more than ever. Because I deserved this weather, more than ever.

So what do you do when the weather is amazing and you have not really anything to do? You go to the Zoo. I knew that is was going to be a good weather that day so on Wednesday I planed my trip. I wanted to ask people to come with me but for some reason I really wanted to go all by myself. I do that a lot lately. Trips all by myself. So I can do whatever I want and no one it going to keep you from your plans. I basically typed in on google; zoo. Guess what, there is a zoo next to the metro line. Couldn't be better. Well good I found a zoo, but now I needed to know I much I had to pay. And if I did not already found an amazing trip myself, it was not going to cost me anything. 

It's almost weird how much fun I had on my own. People are way more open to you when you are just standing there all by yourself. "Isn't it gorges how the feathers are all different colors?" I normally don't really like birds. This man did and his daughter who must been around 2years old might have been on my level. "I like taking my pretty girl to the zoo but I can't stent it that they arent free." He was way to interested for me "But sometimes the bad isn't that bad and than we shall appreciate them" I just laughed and wished them a nice day. Didn't wanted to be rude but I just couldn't say anything to him. While walking towards the seals I couldn't stop smiling. I thought about the fact that I used to hate zoos. I was never really interested in animals and I didn't care at all. This zoo for some reason gave me such a happy feeling. Still not really interested but that didn't border me. 

I only had two hours so I kind of rushed through the zoo. And because I was all by myself I didn't mind. I walked little faster than I should have if I had the time so that I could stand still whenever I felt like it. Like when I just couldn't stop looking at a toddler losing his mind at the children's farm and a specially at the pigs. Making pig noises and pulling his nose up. Dancing around trying to get the pigs attention. Or a little girl that couldn't stop asking het mom to visit the "roars".

For me, days like that are moments to relax and think about everything that I've achieved. Surely I can tell that I feel proud of were I am today. I feel really well and I kind of think that the weather helps me with that. Everything looks more pretty when the sun is out. I'm feeling very luckey and I enjoy my adventure everyday more and more.
